Be Happy
All you see is the outside shell of a man,
Young, fit and full of energy but I'm bleeding internally.
Only my perspective can see that the pain rises and falls.
How long I have, no one knows.
You say I have plenty of time left but my pockets say differently.
Time doesn't heal everything.
The lack of funds kill me slowly and I'm running out apparently.
I stay silent.
A cryptic message remains my talent so you'll never find it.
Hidden in my every breath is the words I love you to death but I can't deal with the stress.
Like a lump of coal I've been compressed.
I've been shaped into a diamond but I can't buy my way into heaven,
If such a place exists, it's being with those I know I'll miss.
Easily wiped away
Even the most passionate of kisses will leave these lips.
Like a deprived whore I keep begging for more but dissatisfaction comes from within.
A chemical imbalance.
The lack of serotonin.
I stopped rewarding myself a long time ago.
Like a bad sunburn I just needed some aloe.
Give myself credit when credit is due and with that I know what I must do.
Be HAPPY for me.
